Both MBA and CA are dynamic career option. An MBA is a post-graduation course that you can do only if you have passed your graduation. CA on the other hand is a professional degree course that can be applied for after the twelfth standard or after graduation. Choice of the course is purely based on your interest and the area you wish to work in. The scope of work for a CA is mainly in the field of finance and accounting area whereas MBAs have more diversity to choose from. Many students even decide to pursue MBA Finance after they have completed CA. Being a high-investment course, pursuing an MBA should be a calculated decision for any student. The decision depends on your area of interest. -If you like accountancy and want to study the same further plus you accounting concepts are quite clear then go for CA. -And if you like business management and finance as well, then go for MBA. But the scope of MBA is quite wider than that of CA as latter majorly focuses on one subject and on the other side MBA is a mixture of many subjects. There is a vast career scope in MBA in several areas of business along with effective knowledge in management, analysis, and business strategy. On the other hand, chartered accountancy deals with specialisation in all fields of business and finance. I hope it helps you take your decision.

Choosing between an MBA or a CS degree after CA depends on your career goals and interests. Both degrees can lead to high-paying jobs, but they have different focuses and career paths. An MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree provides a broad understanding of business management, including finance, marketing, operations, and strategy. It is a popular choice for professionals who want to advance their careers in business and management roles. An MBA can be beneficial for those who want to work in the corporate sector or start their own business. On the other hand, a CS (Computer Science) degree focuses on software development, computer programming, and computer systems. It is an excellent choice for those who want to work in the technology industry, including software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Both degrees have their benefits and can lead to high-paying jobs. However, if you are interested in business management and want to work in a corporate setting, an MBA may be the better choice. If you are interested in technology and want to work in the technology industry, a CS degree may be a better fit for you. Ultimately, the decision depends on your interests, career goals, and personal preferences. It's essential to research both degrees and understand the career paths they lead to before making a decision.

As a freshly qualified CA you have the option of taking up an MBA course which would be right in the early stages of your career. This has the advantage of adding a valuable degree to your kit so you can explore the versatile career options available at later in point of time. You have time on your side. By the time many of your counterparts are planning for a career change, you would have added the feather in your cap. If you opt for MBA soon after CA you definitely take away the learning but to REAP the benefits of an MBA programme, work experience plays a major role. As you spend time at the workplace for few years, you tend to be more clear and specific about your career goals. This helps you define your path and apply for the programme that is suitable for your needs. Lets now look at the reasons that would urge you to do an MBA: 1. Enhance your career: A CA is equipped with knowledge about taxation, auditing, accounts and finance related fields during his curriculum. Now when a CA gets into an MBA, marketing skills add up to the of knowledge that he already possesses. 2. Growth is Not Capped: Chartered Accounting is a super specialist profession. You are an authority on accounts, auditing, and taxation. While these are the skills that are required to join and nurture your career in the big 4 audit firms, you will find yourself hitting the ceiling real soon in other industries outside the auditing circle. 3. Career Switch: It is not uncommon and has become a trend CA. Looking to switch out of audit and accounts. An MBA is the ideal platform that helps you make the shift. The shift can be within the realms of finance treasury management, financial planning, roles in financial intermediaries including investment banks, fund houses, brokerage firms, and insurance companies. 4. Moving up the management chain: It is easier to get a job post CA. However, to move into a senior management positions like CEO / or Business head you need to have an understanding of other areas like marketing, HR and more importantly team and people management. An MBA from a reputed university / college can help you build that perspective. The solid knowledge of a CA combined with the smartness of an MBA can help one become a chief financial officer (CFO) or a chief executive officer (CEO) few years down the line. Indeed going for MBA would be a good choice post CA as CS is in similar lines to CA.

Being an MBA graduate I would like to answer this question. I have done my MBA from LPU and it has helped me grow professionally by providing ample of opportunities. It's purely based on your interest and the area you wish to work in. The scope of work for a CA/CS is mainly in the field of finance and accounting area whereas MBAs have more diversity to choose from. An MBA degree increases your expected earnings to a great extent. If you enter the job market with just a B.Com. Qualification, you may not receive very attractive starting salaries. But you can boost your expected compensation with a master's level education, and also negotiate for a much higher pay grade.

The average starting salary is between 5 to 10 Lacs. So, it depends on your interest which one do you want to choose. Hope it helps !
